Tubing/Casing Inspection, Maintenance, Supply and Running Services
Method and Procedure for Tubing Inspection
The NDT (Non Destructive Testing) method is the universally accepted standard for tubular inspection and maintenance. It has been defined as a branch of materials science that involves group of analysis techniques used in science and industries to evaluate and translate the properties of a material component or system without impairing its future usefulness or causing damage to the material.
It is however concerned with all aspects of material uniformity, quality and serviceability.
Standard Operating Method and Procedures for Tubing Inspection
- Procedure: The purpose of the tubing SOP is to provide Inspection personnel with a standard basis for inspection and evaluation of casing and tubing
- Tubular Process: The process used for tubing evaluation and quality inspection for our operations is divided into three general areas:
- Inspection methods
- Application of the selected methods using standardized inspection procedures
- Evaluation of the inspection results using standardize criteria to determine acceptance or rejection of the tubular
